Snow??? I don't drive mine in the rain or on wet streets. I would be curious to know how bad the brake dust build up is on your car. It's horrible on mine. Supposedly, there were some improvements made on the Brembos for 2013 but didn't see any specifics.

Beautiful car...really like the new taillights on the LS.

It just needs diff wheels - dish or thicker spoke wheels would make it perfect.

Beautiful car, inside and out! Would love to hear your impressions after you've driven it a while.

nice, i thought i noticed the same thing. what thickness of spacers did you use?

I have driven the new LS for about two weeks. Overall impressions, that the F-sport suspension gives the car a slightly different drive. The car is slightly lowered. It gives the luxurious comfort typically seen in the LS, but adds the stiffness when placed in sports+ mode. More to follow!

15mm front and 20mm rear and it looks perfect to me. I used 5x120 60.1mm hub bore with studs attached Akata spacers. $69 per pair...I just went on a 1000 mile round trip and no vibrations or issues. The first 100 miles I had to slightly retorque lugs since the bolts are new but they are good to go now..really helps the appearance
